Team Previews
Bangladesh A:
Bangladesh A are riding high on confidence after their clinical 32-run victory over Nepal. Their batting looks solid with Jishan Alam being the standout performer, already scoring 106 runs in the tournament. He, alongside Mohammad Naim Sheikh, provides stability at the top. Afif Hossain’s middle-order presence adds firepower, ensuring Bangladesh A can accelerate in the latter stages of the innings. With Rakibul Hasan leading the bowling attack, supported by Mrittunjoy Chowdhury and Naeem Hasan, their bowling unit has looked balanced, combining pace and spin effectively. Their strength lies in partnerships up front and discipline in the middle overs.
Perth Scorchers Academy:
The Scorchers Academy have displayed fighting spirit in this tournament. Teague Wyllie has been their star with the bat, showing maturity beyond his years, while Joel Curtis and Nick Hobson have chipped in with crucial runs. Their middle order, however, has been inconsistent and needs to fire against Bangladesh A’s spin-heavy attack. On the bowling front, Matthew Kelly has been outstanding with 6 wickets so far, while Corey Rocchiccioli’s off-spin has provided control. The Scorchers will rely on their bowlers to restrict Bangladesh A, as their batting has shown signs of vulnerability under pressure.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Bangladesh A head into this clash as favourites. Their batting has shown more depth, with Alam, Naim, and Afif Hossain in form, capable of putting up a big score. The spin trio of Rakibul, Naeem Hasan, and Afif ensures control in middle overs, something that could trouble the inexperienced Scorchers’ middle order. On the other hand, while Perth’s Academy have fighting spirit, their over-reliance on Teague Wyllie and Matthew Kelly is a concern. Unless multiple batters step up, Bangladesh A hold the edge with their more balanced side.
